Why Should I Use Go Port Instead of the Shuttle Service Offered by Royal Caribbean?

While Royal Caribbean offers its own shuttle service to Port Canaveral, booking through Go Port is the more affordable and flexible option. 

Here’s why:

  • Lower Pricing: Go Port’s shuttle and travel packages are typically more cost-effective than transportation offered by the cruise lines. You’ll save money booking your transportation needs with Go Port without having to sacrifice your convenience or comfort.
  • More Options: With Go Port, you can bundle hotel stays and airport transfers into one seamless Fly Snooze Cruise Package, or simply book a one-way or round-trip shuttle based on your travel needs.
  • Stress-Free Booking: You don’t have to wait until you’re finalizing your cruise to arrange transportation. With Go Port, you can book your Royal Caribbean shuttle from Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral as soon as you know your travel plans.
  • Cruise-Timed Service: Our transportation is scheduled to match your Royal Caribbean ship’s embarkation and disembarkation times, so you don’t have to worry about missing your ship or your flight home.

In short, Go Port offers the same convenience and reliability as Royal Caribbean’s shuttle, at a fraction of the cost. That’s why thousands of cruisers trust us to get them to the port on time and within budget.
